CLINTON COUNTY, NY – The Clinton County Legislature honored Geri Favreau on Tuesday evening, November 10, 2026, for her work preserving the county’s history and bringing communities together to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.

Legislator Calvin T. Castine (Area 1-R, Champlain) presented Favreau with a certified copy of Resolution No. 851, which the Legislature adopted that evening by a vote of 9-0.

“Geri brought people from across Clinton County together to mark America’s 250th anniversary and share the part our communities played in the nation’s history,” said Clinton County Legislature Chairman Mark R. Henry (Area 3-R, Chazy). “On behalf of the Legislature, I thank her for her leadership and for the partnerships she helped build that will carry this work forward.”

As President of the Board of the Clinton County Historical Association, Favreau advanced historic preservation and education efforts throughout 2026. As Chair of the Clinton County America 250th Committee, she worked with municipal leaders, historians, educators, community organizations and volunteers to plan the anniversary commemoration and share Clinton County’s history with residents and visitors.

“There are a lot of good stories right here in Clinton County, and Geri has a way of getting people interested in them,” Castine said. “There’s a lot of work behind the scenes that goes into keeping those stories alive. I was glad to present her the award Tuesday night and thank her in person.”
